and I cited the paper

it was a mistake. I meant the paper:

I think it's ChatGPT's responsibility whether these citations are right,
since I presented the quote as a Turing test assessment, not as my claim.
After the post, I searched for these papers on Google because I was curious
about the subject, and I was not able to find them. This was a surprise for
me.

Kind regards,
Jose M.
